And meanwhile, moses scored...

[OneMoSalah 8,883]

2 good goals. Good movement. Not so shit now eh

[Nicco 927]

We've been playing without a striker for so long that we wank over Higuain. He isn't that great to be honest but is an actual striker unlike the ones we had before him this season.

He is undoubtly a good player regardless.

For me, some of his movement is quite simple but its brilliant and effective. Only been 2 PL games but 2 goals today along with plenty of encourging signs regarding his natural instinct of knowing when to make runs. Just need to keep giving him chances because hes a clinical finisher when he gets going. Also for someone Sarri said is in "bad shape" that would indicate for me that the more game time he gets in next few weeks the sharper he will get. As I said plenty of promising signs along with his pedigree as well, why not be a bit optimistic about what he can do here the next 5 months?

[Laylabelle 9,534]

Good to see him score! Only needs 3 more and have same amount of league goals as Morata for this season. 

Hopefully he can do that in the tougher gaes

[Special Juan 28,092]

Really is amazing what you get when a striker stays on his feet, runs the channels and takes a chance on a shot.

He won't disappoint here because the bar on previous strikers is so low.

Well done Higuain.

he could have a big massive hard on, ankles like a fat 80 year old and more chins than a Chinese phone book and I couldn't give a fuck as long as he's scoring.

It's the difference between a good or decent striker and one (whether he is anymore is obviously open to debate) who has been world class. It's very refreshing to see a player who will take a shot on when the opportunity arises, right or left foot, and strike it with true intent. 

He won't be the long term solution we do need to find but he could be a huge signing for the rest of this season, possibly the next 18 months and if he is fed he will score goals I've no doubt about that.

Confidence too, he looked up for his second goal and just took a chance.

Delighted for the bloke.

True striker. 

[El P. 1,354]

His second goal was good (deflected a bit), but that first one is just what we need. That first goal is everything, that's why you sign the great Gonzalo Higuain. True strikers' finish that fills all attackers with confidence that when you provide him with a ball he will fucking bury it.

His overall game was good too, he can still dribble and is stronger on his feet than Costa, for example. Really good body balance. Few misplaced passes here and there.
